were well taken and clearly and forcibly presented. At 10£ o'clock Dr. Read gave instruction on ''Reading the Scriptures and tiymn," The class read the loth chapter of 1 Corinthians, Several errors in articulation and inflection were pointed out and corrected. The exercise was a very profitable one.

At 4 o'clock Dr. Church delivered his eighth lecture on the "Divine Law and its Manifestations." The special subject .his lectures was, "The first Table of the Law," or the first four of the ten commandments. He gave a close end satisuctory exposition of these parts of the leculogue. He made nome valuable remarks about tho rder and solemnity of public worship. The subject was well bandied, and I think profitably to all pres ent.

The Institute will close this evening, instead of Friday evening, as before announced.

Last evening Dr. Read sontinued the "Evidences of Christianity." Tb«j special subjects was "Miracles." After some general remarks, his proposition was stated as follows "A genuine miracle of mercy is a seal of the Divino commission of Him who works it."

The proposition was explained. A •genuine miracle' distinguished it from the pretended of the heathen and the Romish Church. These are not genuine miracles, They are no miracles, but mere pretence to deceive the people.

The term "mercy,' or "miracle of melon ere j'' in the proposition, distinguishes it from the wo:,dors of wicked men, magicians of Egypt and others.

The Doctur supposed it possible for God to allow, for some wise endg, wicked men to perform lying wonders but if he docs, thoy are not miracles of mercy.

He defined a miracle to be "An act wrought by Divine power, within the sphere of our senses, apart frfm the choice of cause and effect in matter, for' the furtherance of religioa among men.'

This definition was expounded, and the whole subject bandied in a masterly manner. ...—•«•»•

State Normal Instituted

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDIKQ, July 31. THIRD DAY.—The Institute wascallcd order at 9 o'clock,^by Superintendent Olcott. The exercises of the day wore ipened by the reading of 1st Psalm l»y Jlr. O'Dell, and siogingand the repeating of the Lord's 1'rayer, by the members of tho Institute.

The roll was called this morning bynumber. The superintendent took a vote of the Institute upon tho propriety of having a picnic at tne New Fair Grounds on Saturlay. The vote was unanimous in favor if the enterprise. It was thon announced hat the city teachers and residents at^ ending the Institute would meet this morning to make arrangements for the picnic.

Tho lectures this morning wore the jamc as those of yesterday, the sections of tho Institute being reverssd Section A took Grammar. Reading and Penmanship, «nd section B, Geography, Phonics and Vocal Music.

In writing, Prof. Peasely s»id: 1. See the pupils ha?e tho proper materials. 2. See that you have proper instructions prepared and are able to give it so that will bo retained. 3. Teach tho pupils to c®rre3t his own faults from your general criticisms. 4. Have a definite amount to be done and see that each does it as directed. 5. Mark the pupils recitation here as elsowhero.

At 11.40 Prof. Bos worth gave a lecture on "Experimental Philosophy." It rs necessary at times to wake up pupils by giving exercises outside of the regular routine of studies. Most text books in Philosophy commence with the most difficult Bubjects in the study. All the forces which govern the material world can be reduced to twej, Attraction and Repulsion. In the books. Inertia is regarded as an essential quality of matter. If this is true, take away Inortia and matter is destroyed. Inertia is not overcome. Matter is indifferent.— The degnition cf Inertia is wrongly given in all books on Philosophy. Motion may be transmitted, but can Yiever be lost. Motion is tho result of force applied to an object. Elastic bodies transfer all their bodies struck. The Prof! next proceeded to construct some apparatus to illustrate motion in it3 various forms.— He made the iaw of falling bodies, and the subject of tho sperodial form of the" e^rth exceedingly plain. He did not wish to underrate costly apparatus, b&fr pupils sometimes think that experiment* performed on such machines are tncks.—" tf tho pupil sees the machine constructed he may know that there is no deceit. The lectures were applauded by the members of the Institute, and request made that be should continue the subject to-mor-row.

Adjourned till 2 p. M.

AFTEENOON SESSION.

The Institute was called to order at 2 o'clock. Roll called by members. Mr. Olcott urged the teachers to bo prompt in their attendance. Let us have as few tardias as possible.

Mr. Harvey gave another Jecture on '-Theory and Practise," Subject —The "Philosophy of Punishment.''— A boy or girl does some mischief. Shall punishment follow the offense What is tho relation between the mischief and the punishment? A natural punishment exists for every variety of offense. For instance, separate girls that do misehief, let them be deprived of privileges. If a pupil tells you an untruth do not allow him to answer to his name at roll call, or to recite until you have satisfactory evi-

deuce that he has reformod. rftinMK' 11.25 to

Ridicule and sarcasm should not be used A teacher that ridicules ought not to be allowed in the profession. The object of punishment is the reformation of the pupil,

Wbat shall corporal piinisHmen't be and when administered Never oblige a pupil to hold a book at arm'B length, or bend over and touch a nail on the floor. "When all other means fail inflict corporal pnnishment. Before doing so, visit the parent and enlist him in your behalf. When it becomes absolutely necessary use the rod until you conquer the stubborn will. Whipping is the next thing to suspension. When the rod fails, and the pupil becomes a moral pest, let him be suspended or even expelled. When Buch a case occurs the trustees should not 6hrink from the performance of this duty. Let them arrange that such pupil may return if he makes the proper acknowledgment. The Professor here gave a very happy illustration gin this connection. In every instance, in Grammar and High Schools,'as far as he has practiced this plan, good has been the result. Question

Would you use the rod before suspension? I do not consider the rod the last punishment. When the conduct is outrageous suspension comes first but generally I a'otld use the rod before suspension.

Mr, Hough remarked that he thought a great deal more of the manly, open*-heart-ed boy going up to the teacher to receive punishment than he did of that sneak of a boy that cried before he got half way to the place of punishment. He was not in favor of breaking the heart of the openhearted boy. Five minutes were given for recess.

Prof. Hewett next lectured on History. Ho commenced by having the members of the Institute review yesterday's lesson. The advance lesson commenced where the lesson of yesterday closed. The third relation, or thread, in the study of History is, Vhe connection of persons with the history of a country. The reminiscences of public men give a pretty good history of a country. Fourth, The relation of •muse to effect. This is the most difficult part of the werk.' Yet, if properly man aged, the teacher can do much in this department with very small children.— Much rnoro can be accomplished with elder pupils. Several questions were asked .by the Institute.

Dr. Nutt occupied some time in explaining the endowments and facilities of the Indiana State University. Provision lias been made for the admission of ladies to the benefiisofthe University also, that tuition is free to all who may desire to at end tho school. Ours is the first State in the Union to open a school absolutely free to all people.

On the subject of Self culture, the Doctor said that it is expected for us to do all the good in the world that is in oir power. Self culturo is of the highest importance in our education. To succecd well in a school you must ha/e self-control. This is the first requisite in a well conductcd school. Is it possible to control the temper? It is, if you think and look beyond self to your pupils and their requirements. Look to the highest good of those under your carc. Amid all the troubles and storms of life look beyond the river of tiise. How will my conduct in this life affect me a thousand years to come? Let us do right and leave the consequences with God. "Talks on Phenomena" was continued

T. W. Harvey. Fires in great cities are followed by rain. Humbolt says that an eruption of a volcano in South America will change a dry season into a wet one. The heated air is carried up, becomes cooled, and the moisture is formed into rain. A hail sterm always occurs on a very warm, still day. It is caused by heated air ascending very rapidly into the upper regions, and the mosture freez iDg. The Professor explained what he denominated meteori# rivers. The lecture was of much interest to tho teachers.

The question for discussion, "Shall the teacher mark the merit of each recitation on the class register," was opened by Mr. O'Dell. He marks every recitation.— It prevents procrastination. If not marked on the class book pupils will put off the preparation of their lessons until to-morrow but to» morrow never comes. The examination record is not a fair test of a pupil's advancement unless compared with the daily class register. Some suggest merit cards. These are good, but class making preferable.

Prof. Harvey took some time in the explanation of the method of marking the merts of pupils in the Painesville (Ohio) Schools. In those schools the Professor gives complimentary promotion cards to all pupils who stand above 90 per vent, for a year. He makes it an educational in centive.

Superintendent Olcott said that the daily marking of classes begets the disposition in the pupil to study for the sake of reciting well. Again, it is too difficult, and requires too much time to do the work thoroughly and /airly. If the work is not done fairly and honestly it is the worst thing that can be done for a pupil.

Prof. Harvey said that if a teacher kbows how to teacb, he knows how to mark a class. Some teachers cannot use the register successfully. Let such try some other method.

Mr. Olcott wished to explain his position. He thinks that on»system will succeed in one school, while it fails in an* other. Let the plans be changed as occasion requires.

Remarks were made hy Prof. Hewett, G«orge P. Brown, and others. The discussion was animated throughout. 7"^

Liqour S iting in Terra Haute— Its Champion "S."'

The EXFBKSS of July 27th publishes the rejoinder of S. to my second arti* cle, in which he complains that I mis-quoted-him all the way through his first communication, and got the cart before the horse, eta, etc. His complaints and charges are so many that I can hardly refer to them all

But I wish to be canlid, respectful, courteous. This is no personal controversy, or I would be silent and wary of this young gladiator and champion for the people, or more properly for the liqour sellers.

The question concerns the people, taxpayers, business men, the domestic peace of families and society more than it does Mr. S. and P. individually. I have your first article before me, Mr. S. also my own in answer thereto. In your's you say, "I will take issue with him in but one argument, which seems to be the substratum of his logical mind. He holds that every liquor seller is responsible for the carriage and conduct of him to whom be sells, and leaves the applicant or drinker out of the question." On this you took issue, commented,philosophized and blundered. I did.not leave the drinker out of the question. My motto was, first, the "caveat actor second, the "caveat emptor". —interpreted, let tho seller and buyer both beware. A fair construction on my language would have led you to understand me aright. But you took tbe position in your first that the drinker alone was responsible, and endeavored to maintain it in your rejoinder, but quite as poorly.

Now, what were the arguments you used to substantiate that position. First, that you came into the world like Cain

under the impress of free agency, wd

claimed it to be worth as much as a fee

simple in any estate I might hold

virtue of the civil code of this county.— Second, you referred to the case of Cain,

and asked me why I do not conform to

the spirit of the Great Book, and then,

you how the Lord dealt with him.

tell you how the Lord dealt with "The Lord whom he worships banished Cain and inflicted other punishment upon him of which we are net cognizant."— Was not that an admission that the liqnor seller should be punished but somewhat after the same manner as Cain,

You then interrogated mei in this wise "Can Mr. P. give a single instance that the God whom he warships ever interfered with the originality of free agency I cited you to the very cases you referred to, that of Cain and Satan in Heaven, as most signal interferences to arrest wrong doing. I could lyive cited you to an unlimited number. Was not the above interrogotary intended also, if unanswered, as an argument to prove that interference with liquor selling was-wrong and fanatl* cal? You would have me believe that Cain was not held responsible, because God had implanted in him the principle of free agency. Would you hav'e me in fer then, that you hold God, your Maker, responsible for all the evil you do, because he does not choose to take away from you the cause or root of evil I can not think you so bold an Infidel as that, and yet your reasoning and logic leads me to it. So also in regard to Satan, is your reasoning. Upon such a hypothesis, any crime or wickedness can be justified, and it would bo wrong to have buman laws to interfere with liquor selling.

Now, Mr. S. I think I have studied the case you charge me with misquoting, and I leave it, and come to your rejoinder. This is truly a formidable document.— You cling, I perceive, with great tenacity to your heathenish doctrine of free agency and cite to the case of Jeff. Davis, as being permitted of God, to work out his principle of secession. Did he work it out Was he not interfered with, and finally arrested in petticoats You talk about my stultifying myself before the public]. Are you really fuddled when you refer me to such cases, as proof that God never interferes with, nor punishes men for their acts of free ageney I don't want to think so.

Your inuendos, latin phrases, "signifying "hay on the horns," etc., etc., harping of the words "fanatic" and fanaticism, are not arguments, but simply an appeal to low passion or reasoning. Your hyperboles are4befohd my comprehension. You beg to be let alone and have no more public diction You say you have nO time to write—'"that idle thoughts best can serve," &c. You remind me of certain characters we read of in Scripture history, who cried out, "What have we to do with ,hee—* art thou come to torment us before the time Ne doubt idle thoughts best can serve, where truth anchlight, doth but evil deeds reprove. ft

Now I did not ask youT!o Become Ihe champion or defender of liquor selling.— I know your time is precious and that you have no fondness for the law. But I have said that I wish to be candid, I will try to be so, and come again to tbe law. I hold that liquor selling is not necessarily a wrong, a crime and a disreputable business. If it is so, liquor sellers them selves have made it so. Theatrical performers and managers are themselves responsible for the demoralized and evil influence of those institutions

The grave question now is, can they ever be made reputable ud uaefm their tendency? My belief is they cannot, so long as human nature remains unsanctified. My Belief is ihe same in regard to the business of liquor selling, except under the most rigid of statute laws, enforced by sua active police. Why, I would ask, should the Uqoor M£1« claim

immunities, not granted to any other busines or profession. The physician is held strictly accountable for almost any wrong which may result from a malpractice in bis profession. The druggist for any mistakes he may make in putting up bis medicines. The sellers of meat, flour and many other articles of living are held responsible for damage by sickness or pecuniarily, which may result to the purchaser. It is tbe seller and not the buyer, the physician and not the patient, he who injures and not the injured, who are held responsible by our statute laws. It is under this rule I would bring the liquor seller, and why Because 1st, it is right 2d, because I know that the selling of liquor in Terre Haute does infinitely more damage to the buyer or consumer, than any other business 3d, because liquors of the most viciously adulterated kind are sold, injuring and destroying the health of hundreds, yea thousands 4th, because they neither benefit themselves as individuals or the]community at large. They add nothing to the material wealth of themselves or the city—depreciating instead of appreciating property and add materially to my taxes and the tax payers generally. A debit and credit account with them, allowing for all their charities and money paid for license, would show an actual balance of thousands of dollars expense to this city and county in consequence of their selling intoxicating drinks. There is no end to the evil nor is it possible to estimate the damage to this city and people, morally, physically and financially.

I said I would hold the drinker respon* siblealso. I would to a certain extent He is hy no means excusable for his intemperate habits, nor for his wrong acts while in a state of intoxicatiou. But his

left to work out his own destiny according to the prior established laws of free agency. I said I was willing to this, I did not say that the liquor seller belongs to the east of civilization. I vuoted from the Bible history what that destiny was. Cain was driven out, a fugitive and a vagabond, but was permitted'to go and dwell in the land of Nod, which was on the east of Eden, and. away from civilization, for then it was a barren wilderness. There he worked out his dostinyr How, then, did I misquote or misrepresent you on this pointy You asked this questions, did He—the Lord—ever arrest crime in its any shape? Was not this intended as an argument in support of your position If not it seems to me it had no relevancy.

BOABD or EQUALIZATION.—Tax-pay-ers will remember that tbe Board of Equalization, on behalf of City Council, is in session daily for the bearing of complaints for excessive valuation. Those who fail to attend should not complain hereafter, or annoy tbe Council for specia relief. It is the bnsiness of every citizen to look to this matter now

y8peptic_a sick child. But

laws and rules, claims immunities not granted to any other class of men increases the burden of our city goverment and endangers its peace and good name Considering how imperfectly I write, how unable to do justice to it, I feel conscious of having written already too much. But one thing I wish to say, and it is this I have not written with any feelings of a personal nature. If I have been so in the least, I ask pardon of S., and others. Among the liquor sellers of Terre Haute, I have some of my warmest and best friends. God knows I would do almost any thing to influence them to engage in a more laudable business. All the unmined gold that still lies buried in the sands and rocks west of the Rocky Moun tains, if it could all be poured into my hands, could not induce me to engage in the business. The experiences of an early life taught .me that in the liquor traffic there was ruin of every name and dye. death of soul and body, sacrifice of peace in the family, involving both seller and buyer in allthe calamities that flesh is heir to. Those early experiences and observa tions are more than confirmed by what I see and know now. In behalf of wives and children, in behalf of all that is dear and sacred in human life, in behalf of those whose appetites are such that they have lost all control, I entreat .of men to cease to do evil and Heaven and mankind will bless you.

THAT PIANO QUESTION.—Commenting upon tbe article in the New York Sundaj Times of July 6th, that two first gold medals were given to two different piano persons at the Paris Exposition, and touching again on the subject of tbe ex elusion of the Steck Pianos, the New York Hebrew Ledger of July 12tb, contains tbe following:

We cannot but sympathize in this praise entirely with our respected col league, and refer therefore to forner publications in our journal touching, without unnecessary parade, and not as tbe national English or better OermansEnglish papers, turning their colors according to tbe change of wind, are in the habit of doing, the unanswerable neglect and vn jury done the firm of Steck & Co., on the art of the American Commissioners.—

Even if no mention of it has been made in the Weekly Review, we know loo well from experience what sensation our remarks have made in this country as well as even in Europe. None but those acquainted with the corruptions of tbe whole machinery can understand in how f#r the exclusion of the Steck Pianos, an article of such peerless perfection, was managed. However, this has happened it gives rise to a well-founded suspicion that some kind of influence has been used, caused by the fear of some powerful competition of the Steck Pianos, an agent as much to be dreaded as the lots of the Prize Medal.—[ED.
